A Savannah man on Wednesday was indicted on murder and related charges in the August slaying of a homeless woman in a makeshift camp.

Michael Perry, 34, caused the death of Dezanne Davis “on or about Aug. 8” by stabbing and strangling her, the Chatham County grand jury determined in a seven-count indictment.

The indictment also charged Perry with malice murder by fatally stabbing Davis, felony murder by causing the death during the commission of an aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a knife, and by strangling the victim and possession of a knife during commission of certain crimes.

Savannah-Chatham police found Davis after they were flagged down by a man who told them he thought someone was dead. He directed them to a makeshift homeless camp in the wood line near Old Hitch and McAlister streets where Davis, 38, was found lying on the ground.
